  • Juno’s morning report

    Juno had a bit of soft stools again this morning, but compared to yesterday, I think there is some improvement already. But it’s still not as well-formed and solid as Monday’s. There was a setback yesterday, I don’t know why, but I hope it will continue to improve today. Otherwise, her second vaccination would have…

  • Juno at night

    Juno has been very active today, very alert, but she’s passed out soft stools a total of five times. I’m not sure what is happening because as of yesterday, her stools were hardening up. So I can safely say that we have had a setback today. I just hope tomorrow would be better. Meanwhile, her…

  • Jayden and Juno

    Peek-a-boo! I see you!! Juno is quite happy curling up in this basket because this way, Jayden can take her along with him without squeezing her! Jayden made a “fruit salad” for Juno to eat. Juno is eating her kibble lunch now. Her urine has been quite yellow, so I’m syringe-feeding her water. I think…

  • Nomi and Miao’s updates

    Our vet who successfully did the diaphragmatic hernia surgeries on both Nomi and Miao (sponsored by AnimalCare donors) often asks about both of them, whether they have completed their vaccinations and if Nomi has been spayed yet. I have not received any updates on both for some time now, so I contacted their adopters this…

  • Creating new toys for Juno

    Juno has been bouncing around the house all morning, looking for things to play with. Then she found a new toy – this empty Cat’s Best bag which can be used as a hideout and she loves the sound of the paper bag too. See that bit of string attached to the bag? I’ve since…

  • Ginger’s eye injury – improved

    Ginger’s injured eye (the right one) is on the mend. It’s better now, but still pink around the eye. The occcasional squint. Sayang-ed by Rey. Two of the great blessings in life are to be able to give and to be loved. Ginger has both. He looked after the Monsters and brought them up (that’s…

  • Juno’s morning – a setback or feather-eating?

    This morning at 6.00am, Juno passed out blood-tinged, formed but slightly soft stools. This looked like a setback as the stools had been well-formed though a bit soft since Sunday morning, and by late last night, the stools were already hardening up too. However, she’s active, alert and her appetite is fantastic. Shortly after breakfast,…

  • Ginger’s eye is improving

    Ginger’s injured eye is improving. As always, Minnie hero-worships Ginger and looks after him. How sweet! Perhaps Minnie is thankful that Ginger mentored all her sons? Or maybe Minnie just “clicks” with Ginger!

  • Juno’s news and the sweet little thing that she is

    So far, Juno’s faeces have been nice and well-formed. They are still just a bit soft, but maybe that is due to the diet. I gave her Kaolin-Pectin this morning. Tomorrow there is one more dose of Promax and that completes the medication except for the supplement, Cobalaplex, which is given on alternate days for…

  • Breakfast time at dawn!

    I woke up at 3.50am this morning. It’s crazy, but I could not go back to sleep, so I decided to get an early start to catch up on the news and some reading. But Tabs, Riley and Juno call came to the kitchen, so I fed them. Juno ate home-cooked food. Then, kibble with…

  • Juno’s yummy home-cooked lunch!

    Thank you for eating my home-cooked food, Juno! I have thought about it and for now, Juno’s staple food will be cooked food and kibble will be a standby snack or meal replacement if she needs a change. Cooked food is preferred because it has moisture. Yummy, yummy! Back to her playhouse!

  • A revised treatment for Juno’s butt sore

    Since we were at the clinic already, I managed to purchase the small e-collar for Juno and consult the vet about the treatment for the butt sore. The vet said I could clean it with Chlorhexidine and apply Fustadin instead of Triderm cream. So that’s what we did after we came home. Sorry, Juno, you’ll…

  • Ginger’s injured eye and ear ceruminous adenoma/glandular hypoplasia

    This morning, I noticed that Ginger’s right eye was injured and tearing. He was also squinting, but he ate his breakfast as usual. There was a massive fight between Smurfy and Robin yesterday and Ginger was not involved at all. When I intervened, Ginger was just looking on. Perhaps there was a fight last night?…

  • Creamy appears to be fine

    Creamy came and ate his breakfast today. He appears to be fine now, but just to be safe, I still gave him a dose of Feline Gut Soothe. I saw him passing loose stools yesterday morning and he didn’t want to eat anything until evening. As I’ve always said, it’s so much more challenging looking…

  • Riley and Juno eating kibble

    Riley is also a kibble-queen, like the Blondies. Is it this younger generation that is so? Anyway, this morning, when I poured out some kibble for Riley, Juno came rushing to the kitchen! She had earlier already eaten an assortment of food, actually, but if she can still eat, please do! Juno is on a…
